Description Peter Hutterer 2021-04-08 03:23:29 UTC
After the deaggregation (#1932754) some individually split packages use the following:

  Obsoletes:  xorg-x11-server-utils <= 7.7-39

This line is incorrect, without %{?dist} it does not match against the actual EVR of 7.7-39.fc34. Packages with this tag do not correctly obsolete the xorg-x11-server-utils package, causing conflicts on update.

This affects all split out packages with the exception of xisxwayland, this bug is  to be used for the update of these packages.

Comment 3 Edgar Hoch 2021-04-17 23:13:07 UTC
I have tried to install Fedora 34 nightly build 20210416 with kickstart.
The installation stops because of transaction error.
File /tmp/packaging.log contains this error messages:

00:52:15,926 ERR packaging: The transaction process has ended abruptly
00:52:15,927 INF packaging: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/bin/xmodmap conflicts between attempted installs of xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-39.fc34.x86_64 and xmodmap-1.0.9-1.fc34.x86_64
  file /usr/bin/xrdb conflicts between attempted installs of xrdb-1.1.1-1.fc34.x86_64 and xorg-x11-server-utils-7.7-39.fc34.x86_64

Should this bug be a freeze exception, because it breaks kickstart installation, and including it will solve the problem?

Comment 4 Edgar Hoch 2021-04-17 23:43:20 UTC
The kickstart installation continues if I include the following line in the %package section:

-xorg-x11-server-utils

Comment 5 Peter Hutterer 2021-04-20 01:36:15 UTC
Proposing as F34 Freeze Exception

The update here is trivial, it just fixes the Obsoletes line in all packages to avoid exactly the above type of install error.

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2021-04-20 06:32:04 UTC
the install errors should be transient and go away when the previous update goes stable, I think, but fixing it probably won't hurt either.

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2021-04-20 21:25:46 UTC
